If theres any justification for it, its really scraping the barrel time for staunton at the moment and he's not going, or has not had, any better opportunity to see him train, though obviously if he had turned up for city v red star or something like that this might've happened a bit sooner.

knowing reading's shady tactics however, im not too pleased with the idea of benno and joe sharing a room for a couple of weeks. Dolan's influence on Doyle, and Doyle's influence on bennett lead to transfers, lets hope bennett doesnt act as "advisor" to joe - although with a long contract and hopefully an international cap, joe would fetch a nice sum.

THIS HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED ANYWHERE!


Did you dream it?


Incidentally Ward was called up, but picked up a knock against WBA last night and had to decline.

It's not on Reading's site, it's not on any Reading message boards, it's not on breakingnews.ie, rte.ie, or fai.ie.
No mention on Red FM's site, despite their (alleged) announcement. and the same person that heard it, confirmed it from "the man himself"

This is true lads.

nothing on this mornings news/sports reports?! altho it did say that theres the possibility of 1 more player gettin the nod. a bit tight considering that the plane is leaving today!! :eek:
IMO sean dillon should get the call ahead of bennett. he's playing regularly at right full and alot of fans and journalists have taken notice of his solid performances, most notably his level headed debut in Ibrox. tends to fly under the radar tho bcoz of his no nonsense,nothing spectacular approach.
Staunton take note!!

Why would this surprise anyone if it's true!? It's not as if Stan doesn't regularly come up with bizarre decisions. Agree about Sean Dillon. He's done reasonably well with Dundee Utd and considering he has been playing first team football all year he should be considered ahead of the Premiership reserve players that have been called (even if I'm personally happy for Eddie O'Halloran that his lad has been called up).

Is paddy mccarthy injured?

The central defenders in the B squad were Bruce, McCarthy (injured) and O'Cearuill. We're currently down to about 8th choice centre half now.

Dont know why everyone is so shocked, its all politics and prestige. Basically he has no time whatsoever for the eL

Yeah. he's recovering from a shoulder injury. Supposed to be back in training, but not ready for first team football. No point in bringing him if he's not fit

If we win a game it will be the greatest achievement since beating Holland in 2001.

how about it two cobh players on the senior squad..well only ones goin to america but still stephen o halloran has been playin well for villa reserves and wycombe this season and has been in villa squad for the last few games of the season..

I told the Gaffuh to go shag off, that I wouldn't go to the US Cup. Granted he had no idea why I accosted him on the street, or who I was, but still, I had to make my point.

Finally! Along with Peter Murphy. St. Ledger OUT.

Sad to say Peter Murphy is the first player called up to a senior squad whom Ive never heard of for years.
